The following Epitaph on the Rev. Thomas D. Frost,* came to hand too late for insertion in its proper place. His remains having been interred in the Cemetery of the Roman Catholic Church, in St. Mark's Parish, Cuba, permission has been obtained to place a stone over the grave, with a suitable inscription, excluding, however, any allusion to his having been a Clergyman or even a Protestant. Under these restrictions, this Epitaph has been composed, and is intended to be sent out to the Ilavana. Although it is thus necessarily incomplete, yet we owe it to the faithful Minister, of whose virtues it is a Memorial, to place it here upon record.

SACRED

To the Memory of
THOMAS D. FROST,

Of St. Philip's Parish, South Carolina,
He was born at Charleston,

In that State, 24th of February, 1794:
And died of a Decline, in this Parish,
16th of May, 1819.

He was distinguished,

In Childhood, in Youth, in Manhood,

For simplicity, tenderness, purity, diligence, modesty.
Ambitious of improvement,

And gifted with excellent talents.

He loved Knowledge,

Rather as a Duty, for its usefulness,

Than as an Ornament or a Pleasure.

As a Son,

He was ever respectful and obedient, affectionate and grateful:

* See page 282.

As a Brother and Friend,
Provident, generous, kind, sincere:
As a Husband,

He was steadfast through principle,
And ardent from native Sensibility,
In his attachment and solicitude.
In him,

Lived and moved the beauty of holiness,
With Faith, Hope and Charity,
Adorning the Doctrine of God our Saviour,
With the energy, simplicity and fervor
Of a Primitive Christian.
As a Mortal,

Young in the Years of Time,
But, as a Servant of JESUS,
Matured for the fulness of Eternity,
He lived,

A burning light,

Shining more and more unto the perfect day: He died,

The heir of peace, and joy, and life eternal.
THIS MEMORIAL

After Death, in a foreign land,
of virtues,

In life, the ornament and blessing,
Of his native City,

Is placed here by his Widere,
ANN R. FROST.
